Inter central midfielder Borja Valero has taken to photo sharing social media platform Instagram to pay tribute to former teammate Gonzalo Rodriguez, who recently announced his retirement from football at the age of 36.

Valero and Rodriguez played alongside each other at Fiorentina for a number of years and Rodriguez has called time on an 18 year playing career following a spell with San Lorenzo back in his native Argentina.

Veteran midfielder Valero, who has been with Inter since 2017, posted: “A real crack is leaving football, a pleasure to have enjoyed your quality. Good luck in everything that comes.”
